Allegedly it's cyanotype day tomorrow, the 30th of September. Might have to interrupt my busy weekend schedule to make some.

I've coated 4 sheets to play with later. As always grateful for the UV lamp because who on earth thinks the last day of September is a good day for a process requiring UV?

Do you have to fix them afterwards, or do they just stop reacting? The solution is in two parts, mixed equally and spread on the paper. Once dry you expose your image then rinse for at least 5 minutes under running water. That removes any remaining solution and acts more as a stop than a fix I suppose. The final colour can take hours longer to deepen but that can be sped up with hydrogen peroxide I think, although I've never tried that. I've a couple on the wall which have shown no signs of degradation or fade but if in direct light I imagine like any paper print they would eventually fade a bit. |
